Here's something with a very elegant feel. The ad images aren't optimized for a dark background, but with proper imaging I think this would look incredibly chic.

[petruzzi]

Love it. That is the type of design we are looking for ....

[carlos(esparza)]

hello again . . .

here's a layout idea, which is currently in white (just as an option), but could easily be switched to black background, if you'd like to see it:

[mbleigh]

From PM:

Michael,

We love what you have done. Have a question. We are holding our own photo shoot and would like some input based on if we were to go with your design. What type of shot would be best in your opinion? We would like more of the model in the shot to show more lifestyle like on www.bebe.com but we would like your input.

Thank you very much.

I would also like to see the other two pages.

My Best,

Kristin

Hi Kristin, we're not supposed to communicate via PM before a designer is chosen, so I've re-displayed the message here. The ideal pictures for a dark background mostly involve the lighting and backdrop (this is just my opinion). If you use white backgrounds for your images, the contrast can look unusual (you mostly want to avoid the washed-out look). Rich colors are good, with some decent shadowing. I'm no photography expert, so the best thing to do is just look at sites you like and how their lighting setups work!. I would go with deep, highly saturated colors for the most part.

Hope that was helpful. Do you have an idea of what kind of content you would like on the other page types so that the designers have a better idea of how to lay it out?

Regards, and glad you like my design!

[Fabian]

Hi

Here's my idea for your Homepage.

Jennifer has been used as a demo only and would need to be swaped out if choosen,as I don't want her knocking on my door...

Cheers
Fabian

Michael,

Could you change your image in to a vertical image showing more of the girl aka the lifestyle?

We really like the lifestyle in Anne's but like the design of Michael's.

My Best,

Kristin

Yes Michael.

Here is an example of the type of content http://www.bluefly.com/pages/products/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2025220979&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1131&N=947+4294967214&Ne=9&Ns=Popularity%7c0%7c%7cProduct%2bCode%7c1&Nu=Product+ID

but the layout we liked is tht one I provided in the orignal post.

[petruzzi]

[petruzzi]

Wow, all of these designs are absolutely amazing!!

The Winner we have Choosen is Michael. We still have some more work to do.

Michael - Could you please start the other 2 pages, and feel free to contact me via pm or at kc@dpetruzzi.com.

My Best,

Kristin

[petruzzi]

One other thing Michael. Could you send the psd of the main page?

[mbleigh]

Thanks for choosing my design! I will try to get the first PSD to you tonight, and will have the others finished up by tomorrow night. I am leaving for vacation on Friday, so I'll try to get everything to you with time to review before my trip.

[clink]

Well Done Michael,

Thanks for holding such a great contest Petruzzi. :)

[petruzzi]

Thanks clink. It was fun. We are currently running a t-shirt design contest one in the miscellaneous forum for batteries.com (our other company).

Thanks everyone, and thank you Michael.

[mbleigh]

petruzzi,

So sorry, but I left the files I needed to finish up your first PSD at work. I will get everything to you tomorrow. Apologies for the delay.

[abby]

Project Update: This project has moved to the Revisions Forum.

Client please let us know when you have received your files and then your project will be moved to the Archives.

[petruzzi]

Michael,

I really need to get the psd for the homepage so we can get it to the developers.

My Best,

Kristin

[mbleigh]

I am so sorry, I've had a bunch of problems getting it ready to go, and I am working on it as quickly as I can. It is my top priority at the moment and I will be getting it to you absolutely tonight. There was a confluence of events that worked against me in the last couple of days.

Again, my greatest apologies.

[petruzzi]

Thanks Michael. I appreciate you getting back with me. I look forward to seeing them tonight. Like I said, I need the homepage asap, but if you need to work over the weekend on the other 2 thats fine. Also, when you do the category page, we need a "lifestyle" shot, like the ones you used on the main page, and for the product profile, could you do one with a "lifestyle" shot and one without to see how it looks. The only other thing is on the product profile page it needs to have tumbnails of additional images. We need the design to be able to hold itself together and look good if we use 5 or more images.

My best,
